Your cleaning

A gentle air-polish cleaning, not hand scaling

A gentle air-polish cleaning instead of hand scaling. Easier on sensitive teeth, gums and existing dental work, and included in your $149 visit.

  • Warm water and a fine powder spray lift plaque and stain away
  • Guided Biofilm Therapy, the protocol used across her hygiene appointments
  • No separate charge — this is the cleaning in your new patient visit

Gum disease gets diagnosed at your exam with x-rays and measurements, not guessed at.

If treatment is needed we use a diode laser alongside cleaning, and the fee is quoted in writing before anything is scheduled.

I visited Dr. Chopra for wisdom teeth removal. I was pretty nervous going into it and she did a wonderful job making the experience stress-free. She frequently checked in with me over the following days to make sure everything was all good, which I appreciated.

I got a deep cleaning, tooth filling and 2 wisdom teeth extractions and it was all completed quickly… The office has a great view and a calm and efficient atmosphere. I’m generally afraid of going to the dentist so I’m particularly grateful for the high quality care and attention I received.

…I recently moved to Philadelphia and needed dental work, and I’m glad I found them… I needed an extraction this year, and Dr. Chopra clearly explained the procedure, recovery, and next steps, including implants, which made the process far less stressful than expected.

One visit, the whole picture

See what she sees

The 3D iTero scan replaces the tray of putty, and it puts your own teeth on the screen beside you. Most patients understand their mouth better in ten minutes than they have in years.

  • Digital scan — no impression trays
  • A written plan, in order of priority, before any treatment is booked
  • Nearly all treatment completed in-house, so you are not sent across the city
